About our storm damage roof report in Todd's Green
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged pots on the stack.
Somewhere as small as Todd's Green, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Todd's Green
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- New damp or leaks inside
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or torn flashings
Anyone responsible for a site like The John Henry Newman School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Choosing a roof surveyor

For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Todd's Green
The wider area around Todd's Green has a long history of building, with Knebworth House about 3.5 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Landlords with a home close to Stevenage station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.

We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Todd's Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.

- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is usually better. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Todd's Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
